mitt romney has to be worried about getting overeager or getting, again, flustered, making an unforced error like that. megyn: it's interesting because the president wants everybody to believe that mitt romney is so smooth and so great, we've seen there he's had gaffes, and the president has had gaffes, and we don't know which version of the candidates will show up on wednesday night, but the last thing i want to ask you about is as we watch together, because we went to those debates together and talked about them after every one, romney improved. he definitely improved by the end. we went through more than 20 of them. and by that critical debate he had in, i think it was florida, where he needed to take out gingrich, he got much more aggressive, and he succeeded in helping redefine the republican primary. here's a sample of romney at what many thereafter said was his best performance. >> mr. speaker, i'm not anti-immigrant. my father was born in mexico. my wife's father was born in wales. they came to this country. the idea that i'm anti-immigrant is repulsive. don't use a term like t

having been at both conventions i can tell you we saw a week of testimonials on mitt romney's behalf including a lot of folks to whom he ministered when he was a mormon minister. we saw a clip in trace gallagher's report of a little boy, a 7-year-old who was dying, he helped him write his will. a little girl who suffered a brain hemmage. mitt romney personally making thanksgiving dish and bringing it over to the family. the dnc actually said romney is a good guy, but different policies. why the shift back if this is coming from the campaign? >> they made the decision this is not going to be a refer even couple on barack obama. the obama dam pain i think has decided that this will be a referendum on mitt romney. between thousand and election day other than the debates you won't see any positive obama ads or anything about what is going to be the next four years. the goal will be to demonize mitt romney. i don't understand why go at him as a person. i can understand criticizing his business record. but why would you attack the person when his own life -- megyn: this issue of mormonism.
